Honestly, if I wanted to deal with the amount of grief I and my friends deal with on the regular as neutral RPers, I'd just play GTAO with voice on. I used to be heavily invested in my RP and character development with my main, but nowadays it's much the same as has been said ad nauseum already: I stay inside, only leaving to drive somewhere else and immediately dash back indoors. I miss going to all the little parks around the city and just hanging out with my IC friends, or anything of the sort outside. But so many people, myself included, have all but stopped playing because it's just... Not that fun? And I'm saying this as someone with a background in all kinds of RP both online and in meatspace for the last 25 years; playing a criminal is fun when there's thought put into it, but the few times I've been robbed, all have been pretty subpar experiences. The last time was in my locked car, in my parking lot, in Vinewood. As I was leaving my apartment. No RP whatsoever to break the locks, just suddenly someone in my car with a gun to my head. Followed by the ever present "stop stalling" when I'm having a OOC anxiety attack because I don't want to lose a character I've put over 1,200 hours on due to "lack of fear RP", given the capricious nature of the administration. Like, I am all for illegal RP, but I really don't want to be playing what is essentially GTAO Lite with the traffic and peds turned off. Just my feelings on the matter.

Definitely supporting this one; it'd add so much to the immersion. +1
